- Assessment is continuous and used in a formative sense to judge the effectiveness of both the learning and the teaching process. Both formative and summative assessment is consistent with the teaching methodology and curriculum.
- Students are assessed against defined criteria of assessment and not against other students (the school aims for criterion-referenced and not norm-referenced assessment).
- The school uses Report Cards and Parent Conferences as the method of formally reporting student progress to parents.
- Both peer and self-assessment are included as means for students to analyze their learning.
- Grading begins in Middle School, so care is taken to explain assessment criteria and the formal ABC Grading System to the students and the parents.
- A variety of indicators of student performance are used, as well as a range of assessment activities. (see Atlas Curriculum link )
